Yes, you can. What gaming console does the game support?
If it's a DS, PSP, PS2, PS3 or Wii?
Yes you can play it ON a laptop!
no, Final Fantasy XIII-2 is only on Xbox 360 and PS3 home console systems.
Not necessarily. Each final fantasy game is a separate story.
As there is no on-line play available, no, you do not pay to play on-line.
The only aspect of Final Fantasy XIII that deals with online play is the ability to achieve trophies.
No. You can play as the character called Noel.
50-60 hours depending on how often you play the game.
The combat is different, and the story is not continuous. So it's fine.
There are three games encompassed under the title Final Fantasy XIII.Final Fantasy Agito XIII (PSP) and Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) have yet to get release dates, but the main game Final Fnatasy XIII for PS3 and Xbox360 will be released in Japan on December 17th 2009 and in America and the UK in April 2010. These are the dates released officially by Sony, however, several online shopping websites (Amazon and Play) say that the game is not released till June 2010, so choose which you believe.
No, the 'main series' Final Fantasy games are completely separate from each other, even though a few names and concepts are shared across the series. But storywise, they are unrelated, you do not need to know anything about any other Final Fantasy game.
I would say that the relevance of graphics is really up to you. Final Fantasy XIII is a gorgeous game. Final Fantasy VII is more of a classic. Now, if you haven't played any Final Fantasy games at all, I would recommend starting with Final Fantasy IX or X. Both of those games are pretty accessible for a first-time Final Fantasy player. Choosing between the two of those, however, I would say to play VII first. It's a classic, and it's really a phenomenal game. XIII isn't to everyone's taste, and therefore I wouldn't recommend it for first-time Final Fantasy players.
